My son\u2019s wife hates how close we are. At first, she was happy when we paid for the wedding and the house. But lately, she\u2019s saying, \u201cHe has another family now; we need to set boundaries!\u201d I ignored her. But the last straw came when she gave me guidelines. Her four insulting rules were: no unannounced visits\u2014she says we must call before coming, even though it\u2019s our son\u2019s house too. Then she preemptively apologizes, claiming she can only host us once a week. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No babysitting the newborn\u2014she refuses to let us babysit, saying only her mom can because she\u2019s a nurse, and I\u2019m not. Ridiculous! No staying over\u2014we occasionally stay in their spare room for weekends due to the distance, but now she wants to stop that, claiming long visits are overwhelming for her. No holiday expectations\u2014she says she feels pressured to spend every holiday with us, despite years of family tradition. Now they want to explore other options, mainly spending it with her parents. I was furious. She is clearly trying to keep my son away from us. The worst part is that he seems to agree with her. I don\u2019t recognize him anymore! What am I supposed to do? Jenna<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
